The Pledge

We hold this truth to be self-evident:

Having George W. Bush as President has been
and will continue to be a disaster.

We will not let our partisanship towards any
particular candidate for President cause us to lose sight of this basic truth.
As such, we pledge ourselves not to become enablers of any campaign designed to
divide us in our struggle to remove Bush from power. We pledge that no more will
we be:

Tools of those who would disrupt the
Anybody-But-Bush movement.

Partisans who would rather bring down the
other guy's candidate than find reason to elevate our own.

Dupes who will automatically assume that
anything negative about the other guy's candidate is more likely to be true
than the negative things said about our guy.

Fools who lose sight of the ultimate goal:
the defeat of George W. Bush on November 2nd, 2004.

History: This pledge was developed when I, a
Dean supporter, became increasingly distressed at the way supporters of Dean and
Clark were biting eagerly at provocatively negative stories about each others
candidates. I talk more about this here.
